EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning depiction of the Heron Ardea Nacht-raeve Ardea Cinerea Stellaris, possibly a purple heron. The image is part of the third album with drawings of birds, which forms one-fifth of twelve albums commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II in the late 16th to early 17th century. The artwork, created by Anselmus Boetius de Boodt between 1596 and 1610, beautifully captures the intricate details of this majestic bird. The heron's graceful form is brought to life through delicate watercolor strokes and precise pencil lines on paper. Numbered at the top right corner as "21" this particular illustration stands out among its counterparts for its exceptional artistry and meticulous execution. The artist's mastery shines through as he expertly blends different mediums such as deck paint, chalk, and brushwork to enhance every nuance of the heron's plumage. Accompanying explanations in Dutch, Latin, and French further enrich our understanding of this remarkable creature. This rare piece from the Liszt Collection not only serves as an artistic treasure but also offers valuable insights into the natural world as it was known during Emperor Rudolf II's reign
